rush  to  the  ^old  lielils,  and  they  naturally  look  forward  to  the  presenl  yi'.ir  with  great  expectations.

CAMP  AT  LONG  LAKE,  DYEA  TRAIL.— This  is  mic  nf  the  rc^iilar  rampihi;  Knmiuls  for  travelers  who  seek  tlie  nold 
fieliisby  way  of  the  Dyea  trail.  .Vlthmiuh  wild  and  bleak  in  winter,  it  is  imt  so  unpleasant  in  the  hot  summer  months  when  the  c  hnl 
enei.iy  of  comlort  is  the  bloodthirsty  miisi|nito.  With  ruii^ed  nionntains  rearini;  their  lofty  heads  aronn<l,  the  miners  can  encamp 
hi  comparative  peace  lieside  Lonj;  Lake,  and  take  the  nmch  needed  rest  that  is  demanded  at  the  end  of  a  wearyini;  inarch.  .Vfter 
a  niL'ht's  refreshinu  sleep  beside  the  placid  waters  the  march  will  be  resnnied  in  the  early  mornini,'  and  the  next  reslini:  place  will 
probably  be  one  of  the  camps  at  Deep  Lake  on  the  journey  nortli.     fhe  conditions  all  tend  to  make  one  anx'ons  to  push  onward. 


Dl'.r.l'  I.AKl',,  IINI'.A  TKAII,.— Tliis  hike  is  ;i  woll  kiiciwii  s(iiit  oil  tlie  Dyea  tniil.  It  is  lictwceii  I-oiig  Lake  ami  Lake 
LiiiikTuiaii,  anil  its  slions  ari'  viiy  |i(i|uilar  as  a  caiii|inij,'  K'lniinil  for  miners  jjniiiu  t)y  the  dverkaiul  rmite.  Several  camps  are  tii  be 
fmmil  in  the  Mei),'hl)i)rliiiiicl.  The  siirri)uiiilini;s  are  barren  and  mcky,  ami  in  the  winter  months  it  is  an  extremely  nndesirahle  place 
to  he  located.  lint  when  the  snow  has  disappeared  before  the  inspirini;  rays  of  a  snnimer  sun  it  is  healthy,  placid  and 
peaceful.  One  cannot  tind  much  shooting  round  al)ont,  as  the  absence  of  fertility  makes  it  unattractive  to  both  birds  and  beasts. 
liy  the  banks  of  the  lake,  however,  a  very  welcome  rest  can  be  enjoyed  by  the  traveler  on  his  way  to  the  land  of  placer  mining.

reputation  Chilkout  I'ass  has  attaineil,  but  whether  or  nut,  this  route  is  still  the  popular  one.
